Review You Create Barbie Basics KIT 002, Mattel 2025

Today we have for review the second set from the masterpiece series of doll designers from Mattel 2025 - You Create Barbie Basics KIT 002. This time we are presented with three girls with light skintone.
The packaging is very presentable, in the form of a cabinet that "locks" with Velcro, and which can later be used as a doll cabinet in a room box, or for storing various doll trinkets. On the back of the box we see some options for mixing outfits and heads with bodies.

Inside the box, we are greeted by a certificate of authenticity, which indicates that the dolls belong to Black Label, and a double-sided instruction manual describing the contents of the set and the means for hybridizing heads with bodies.

Also, the set includes three very high-quality doll stands with gray pearl podiums, which, by the way, are not attached anywhere to the box, but are located in the largest drawer to the right of the dolls.
The stand holders are designed for the body types of the set - we have two standard ones and one slightly larger one - for a chubby body.

In this set we get three types of super mobile Made to Move bodies: Original (Standard), Curvy (chubby), and Tall (tall).
All bodies of all three new sets of dolls are decorated with modified anchors, so changing heads and bodies in places at your own discretion is now quick and easy, without additional manipulations with heating.

If you have already settled, or are just planning to buy a redhead girl on a teenage body Petite, from the related series Barbie Basics, Model 04, JBH74, then you will receive a complete set of four bodies of different physiques, which perfectly match each other in skintone and are all decorated with a new modified anchor.
In skintone, all bodies match Andra Looks 20 (something intermediate between Neko and a tennis player).

In addition, this set, like the other two, also pleases us with the appearance of new faces. You can see that all of them are a mix of existing molds, and, in fact, this mix, in most cases, turned out to be incredibly successful, giving collectors new favorites😍
So, let's get acquainted this time with Stoyan, Audrey and Waldorf ❤️

The girls' makeup is very high-quality, non-pixelated, and the color scheme is interesting. Just like the girls in the first set, these beauties have perfectly shaped bald heads, pierced ears, and molding seams under their chins. The seams worry many collectors, but there's nothing wrong with them, in fact, there's nothing wrong with them, everything looks very neat.

The packaging drawers are not functional, they are just boxes that stand on top of each other. Inside each, in a wrapped paper bag, are the little things from the set - clothes, shoes, accessories and podiums from the stands.

This time, we have three gold pieces of jewelry for all three girls: chain earrings with fasteners without stoppers (easy to put on and take off), an interestingly shaped necklace without clasps, and modern-shaped glasses.

This is how the jewelry looks on girls:

From the outfits we have a set of two skirts, pants, a long-sleeved shirt and two types of tops.
Black leather top with white stitching, on silicone straps, made of non-elastic material, but thanks to elastic inserts on the back, it fits well on different body types.
Fastens on the back with Velcro.

Black shirt with collar and long flared sleeves has an interesting design on the collar, fastens with Velcro on the back.
Made of stretchy material.

Another black elastic top with an interesting shape has silicone straps and long fabric ties at the back.

The pants are made of elastic fabric in a flared-from-the-hip style and have no fasteners, and the length is designed for a tall body, so on shorter bodies, folds will form in places.

The long skirt with a slit looks interesting and voluminous thanks to the beautiful gathered areas. The skirt is elastic and has no fasteners.

The short skirt is no less spectacular, again thanks to interesting pleats on different sides. This skirt is also elastic and does not require fasteners.

A special delight is the shoes of this set!🤩
Black pointed-toe, high boots made of textured material and with gold heels impress with their elegance and detail.
In the photo they are presented on Curvy legs, on slim bodies they will also look amazing.
Heels are made of soft plastic, so they do not always withstand the weight of the doll and bend.

No less chic are black, detailed loafers on a rough platform, decorated with a gold chain🤩
They sit well on the feet of slim figures, but on large feet of Curvy and Tall, they can only be put on after warming up.

The third pair of shoes in the set are clear plastic sandals with trapezoidal heels. They fit perfectly on slim feet, but are a bit too narrow in the bowl for Curvy and Tall feet, but can be pulled on.
The photo shows a Tall foot.

This time we have three new wigs - a chocolate curly ombre, a pink one with voluminous bangs and an exquisite tinted blonde with a side parting.
All wigs are made on a fabric basis and sewn to a silicone cap, which, combined with the ideal shapes of bald heads, gives us a tight fit one to the other. The wigs hold well and do not slip.
The hair of the wigs itself is stiff and unruly, difficult to style.

Chocolate ombre has a barely noticeable highlight at the ends, and thanks to the playful waves, it looks very romantic😍

The pink wig with voluminous bangs has several shades, pay attention.

The sophisticated two-tone blonde has a very stylish length☺️

For the sake of curiosity, we decided to try these wigs on the head of the wig doll Zuri from Integrity Toys. The shape of this doll's head is a little different, but thanks to the silicone cap, the wigs stay on her well 👍🏼

Thank you for your attention🌷 Write in the comments whether the second set of You Create Barbie Basics KIT 002 met your expectations? What did you like the most?
And our team, in the meantime, is running to create a review of the third set of this wonderful series🤩

Sincerely,
